One of the most unprofessional companies I have ever worked at

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good employee discount. Flexible hours.

Cons

No chance for advancement and they never gave raises. Favoritism was rampant at the store I worked at. I witnessed employees come in late more than the allowed times during a six month period that were never addressed because they were the managers personal friends and would hang out with them on their days off.
